Advisory Board

 About the Asherah Foundation

The Asherah Foundation is an internationally recognized 501(c)3 organization founded in 2016 that promotes and supports access to higher education for women around the world. We envision a world where women around the globe have the funding to access higher education to support their families, communities, and themselves regardless of the challenges they have faced in their lives.

The Foundation provides scholarships and support to women seeking a second chance through higher education and raises awareness of the global need for accessible post-secondary education. We believe post-secondary education provides women with the tools and resources to create change within their communities and advance gender and social equality.
